Anyway in case anyone was wondering why I do firmly aver I did not get to DPxDC from DC and am not a DC fan despite having consumed all of the Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad runs up to 2018

(And have an exciting grab bag of shows, movies, and assorted trivia under my belt besides

Batman vs Dracula was fucking great fight me)

It’s because DC as a whole is hostile as fuck to the concept of being a casual fan

(And about 90% of the main heroes annoy the hell out of me for the very tropes that DC is known and praised for in their heroes I am here for villains, antiheroes, and sidekicks exclusively)

There is no such thing as consistent characterization, especially as you consume more content or fall down a rabbit hole, and the rabbit holes are ENDLESS

Everyone cameos everywhere else, referential jokes are often dropped in as Easter eggs for people who have read every single other DC comic put out in the same decade and yet within the same comics you get glaringly inconsistent characterization and different retcons for the same events

Big stories are retold and retconned every couple years, we got 3 separate Spiderman origin movies and the exact same Batman origin in more than half the live action movies; DC PAYS PEOPLE to make up their own different versions of canon events

There is a REASON that the Marvel and DC cinematic universes are both officially divorced from comic canon; the sheer volume of canon content is inaccessible to most of the population, and DC and Marvel know it

That’s why the New 52 was a big divorce from all previous canon too - it’s an on ramp for new fans, because sorting through the web of old content is off putting as fuck

It’s the one thing not a single DC fan I’ve spoken to who complained about “canon characterization” has bothered defending or even acknowledging, and yet it has been the core of all of their arguments:

“Canon is what I want it to be, not what any of the sources say”

And listen, I was a Torchwood fan, we were the archetypal example of “canon only happened if I acknowledge it” (so sad that show ended after only two seasons and nothing else ever happened again Children of Earth who), you just gotta acknowledge that that’s what you’re doing

But you frankly cannot have a serious conversation about canon characterization with someone who does not acknowledge entire swaths of canon and cannot understand why that makes their argument completely invalid

Any kind of conversation about the “right” characterization for a DC character necessarily has to involve the acknowledgement that it’s your personal preferred characterization, not a One True Canon, because I guarantee there are canon incidents for every single big name and most of the small ones that directly counter the ones you like

You may note I share a bunch of posts with things like “My Batman would never do this”, as opposed to “canon Batman would never do this”

Hell, on Batman specifically there are hundreds of beautifully put together posts talking about how the different canon runs get him wrong; I too prefer a Bruce Wayne who does genuinely care about his family and tries to protect them, but isn’t perfect or always right over the massive asshole elitist who just grunts and treats them like soldiers

Canon Batman slaps his kids around, it’s the meme that broke containment and you don’t have to like it or accept it as something your Batman would do!

But it’s still canon

Both versions have a massive well of canon support, and exist simultaneously in the multiverse

Every single characterization of a character is true and exists in the multiverse

And that is why the idea of a “canon version” of any DC character is utterly meaningless

TL;DR: write DC characters however the fuck you want and do not worry about it for more than 10 minutes together, that is what the paid DC writing staff do

There will be at least two pieces of canon media to back up whatever interpretation of the character you pick

Not everyone will like that characterization or agree with how you see the character, and that is all fine and good! But “canon” is meaningless in this context, neatly encapsulated by the “multiverse” explanation

Everything is canon, which means that nothing is canon

#dc characterization rant #i am a happy harlivy fan #i am not a dc fan #and tbh batman is actually the least interesting dc character to me #he’s just the example that everyone knows #lord death man remains the best dc character with music meister in a close second i take no bribes #tbh all my favourite comic rec posts have also included some runs or whole writers to avoid because the poster knows their shit #petty posting #this is what plays in my head every time anyone apologises for not knowing any comic canon #do not worry friends the paid writers don’t know the canon either #they don’t let that slow them down #superheroes are archetypes and everymen for a reason #have your favourite characterization for everyone! pick your best bits! #just remember that it’s your favourite #not the one true #i will read a billion rants about why you love one specific version #with all your favourite runs and bits and pieces and supporting arguments #but i especially enjoy the tea of ‘and this goddamn run is doing them WRONG’ 😏 #you gotta acknowledge that your fave is not the only canon #and apparently that is hard? for some people?

[marimeeko]

Yeah, Izuku is not the sole person to ever call him Kacchan....

But Denki has only done it like what, once or twice?

Everyone else only called him that when they were kids and grew out of it.

Izuku is still undisputed champ of calling Katsuki Kacchan. Kacchan really wouldn't be as much of a thing, if he hadn't kept calling him Kacchan throughout their entire lives. That significance is not nothing.

So like...people aren't exactly wrong to associate Katsuki calling himself Kacchan with IZUKU and his refusal to let that name go.

So I don't fully know what this all means yet, but you cannot deny that the name Kacchan is so heavily associated with Izuku. And that the choice Katsuki made to call himself that over his chosen Hero name is unexpected, and interesting at least.

#bakudeku #and remember two things can be true at once #yes bakugou is now having a grand old time #and hes feeling a certain kind of spicy while chasing AFO fown for a beat down #man is laughing his ass off apparently while hitting buildings bc thats good for his quirk now? #so yeah part of it is bc hes feeling silly and petty and wants to fuck up AFOs day by being some random dude foiling his plans #BUT ALSO #its so fucking funny that he chose to call himself #proudly #as the ONE NAME THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR HIM BY IZUKU #this whole time #HE HAS CORRECTED EVERY OTHER PERSON EVERY OTHER TIME #and told them that its GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT #and now suddenly he is KACCHAN BAKUGOU #like #its just kind of interesting #bkdk #i am not saying bkdk canon bc he did this but like #its just kinda funny #i know what you are kacchan bakugou #lmao

Why is there a theory about how cuckoos father is Steve Rogers. What made you think about that. What does it literally add to the story. What are you trying to achieve here.

#cuckoos does not need a father hashtag feminism #it also makes me amgry because apparently duggan likes the idea according to reddit #also i don't want my girls being related to him because his mainstream popular fans are annoying #i am a petty bitch i like complaining

When I see the same ad over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over I will make it my life mission to never purchase that product or anything from the creators even if it is something i want and would enjoy

My spite knows no bounds

#this goes for anything #look I get it money is a thing people need sponsorships is a valid way to make money #but I have seen the same fucking post #for the same fucking thing #20 times a fucking day #and yeah I block the original posters of whatever the ad is #but tumblr does not care apparently #I also have a vendetta against a certain auto part store for blasting their ad 4 or 5 times #in a row on YouTube for 2 months straight before Firefox ad blocker on mobile became a thing #now i never shop there and WILL drive 5 more miles to another store #yes I am petty and spiteful and no I will not change

For the person who told me to be quiet in response to my post on the situation with Gaza, you know? I don't think I will.

THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT IS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.

The Israeli people are not to blame, Jewish people are not to blame, the rank and file soldiers of the Israeli military are not to blame for the actions of the Israeli government. The Israeli government and other governments that support it shoulder 100% of the blame.

HAMAS IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

The Palestinian people, Arabs, Muslims, and any other group people might relate to them are, in fact, not to blame for Hamas' actions. Hamas and any government or organization that supports them shoulder 100% of the blame.

Just to put that into nice, small, concise chunks for you.

#politics tw #israel #palestine #israel palestine conflict #The person who made that comment got themself blocked. #I don't tolerate supporters of terrorism. #But just as a nice summary for anybody else who might want to pin the blame for the slaughter of innocent civilians #on the civilians themselves... #Bombing a civilian hospital in a besieged city could not be more clearly a war crime and act of terrorism. #Literally I am making another post about this purely because I am that fucking petty. #I said what I had to say. That was apparently unacceptable to some people. That only makes me want to say it louder. #I do not support the actions of the Israeli government. Which is apparently a problem to some people. #Despite literally stating in bold fucking font that the Israeli government =/= the Jewish people. #I also don't support the actions of Hamas. So far no one has fought me on that.

yall people are so mad about having your perfect little angel be called a dick but don't even understand what the op actually said. just because Will has reasons to be an ass to Mike doesn't mean he was not being an ass and didn't hurt Mike. we're saying they were both being dicks to each other and hurting each other. we're not making Will the bad guy here. because there is no bad guy. they're both just messy teenagers doing their best. yall are so quick to always blame everything on Mike and make him the bad guy but god forbid we acknowledge Will's mistakes and Will hurting Mike too

#yes i am being petty and yall are annoying and apparently can't read #anyways i see i need a break from tumblr cause i'm tired of yall making some drama all the time so #mike wheeler #byler

hey. you ever think about: thaxted/jupiter gustav holst

#hi. tonight i learned there's a second verse to I Vow To Thee My Country #and am marveling over the strangeness of *directly* juxtaposing the Kingdom Of Petty Nationalism vs the Kingdom Of Heaven And Peace #that's it. that's the two verses! #also apparently the original poet toned down verse 1 after world war two when he noticed War Was Bad lmao #anyway regardless of all that the melody still slaps so extremely hard.

Big Dragon Ep 4 Thoughts

-Ah yes. We left off at the engagement that neither person seems happy about. 

-The mothers know. They know their children don’t want this. The fathers? Idiots. 

-Bruh you can’t say the names are meant for each other when y’all the ones that named them. You been planning this since they were born you freaks. 

-Fuck yeah Mangkorn you tell ‘em

-I am surprisingly attached to these two idiot assholes. I hate them but I love them? I want them to destroy each other but I want them to love each other. I want to see them bring down heaven and hell in their pursuit of one another. They both deserve better than their families but exactly what they got in a partner.

-Why are there children loudly playing outside my apartment? Children this is a busy street. Please be careful. And now my neighbors are having social hour outside of my apartment what the fuck. That’s not a gathering place. It’s such an awkward place to congregate. 

-Now back to it. 

-Love this friendship between the two that are now apparently in an arranged marriage. I’m glad they both at least seem to be on the same page as each other. And now I wanna go fly kites. Anyone else? Just me?

-Yai needs a therapist to help him process his grief over his mother’s passing. 

-Yai. One of those unknown numbers is Mangkorn. Your precious idiot. 

-The dads are oblivious idiots. Sweet, oblivious idiots. 

-Ooooo this will be a misunderstanding. 

-Does voicemail not exist in Thailand? Couldn’t Mangkorn have left him a message since he’s being an idiot. 

-Mutual being mad and pouty. I lovehate this. I hope this scene never ends. 

-A hood is not a helmet. A HOOD IS NOT A HELMET. 

-That song at the end of the episode is the same as the song in Bad Buddy when Pat and Pran kissed on the rooftop. What. 

-What an episode. Can’t wait for next week.

This took way too long to finish, but here it is anyway (5 whole days later)

This is Hildegard, the thief, wearing stolen clothes of course.

I got skyrim on monday and I only knew about the dragons and the "you're finally awake" meme beforehand, so I would've named her something more Khajiiti had I known where the Khajiits are from, HOWEVER I did decide that she changed her name when she got to Skyrim.

So far my favourite things about this game are: the fact that you can throw corpses into rivers, the fact that you can ride horses up vertical mountains, and Brynjolf, who makes me giggle and kick my feet like a schoolgirl in love.

#it's not at all surprising that me #the local cats (1998) fanatic #chose the khajiit species #as you could guess i am loving riften so far #apparently you can become the guild master of the thieves guild #which is very exciting #i doubt ill ever finish the dragonborn quest #im just here for petty crimes #and brynjolf of course #brynjolf my beloved #skyrim #elder scrolls #elder scrolls v #khajiit #fanart #skyrim fanart #dovahkiin #dragonborn #art #digital art #original character #oc #character art

it's still wild to see my ex subposting abt me after 2??? years? like not only that they completely micharacterise me if that's even possible. like get over it jesus christ.

#🌱 ventish #apparently according to them i cheated #and lovebombed them #which like ok #you think whatevrr you wanna think #i have bpd and i couldnt physically think of anything but them until the day i split then we gradually drifted #if the “lovebombing” you assume was manipulation was me being so utterly obsessed with you that i couldnt live my daily life #then going to a regular style of relaxed loving #then you have some major problems #and all your relationships will be doomed to fail #but the cheating thing ?? are you fucking kidding me?? #i am one of the most loyal people i know #especially when they were my fp at the time #??? why are you lying to make yourself seem like the better person #its petty #youre a grown ass adult #act like it #like i know im just ranting in tags at this point but its like dude are you fucking kidding me #shittalk me i dont care #but ?? LYING ?? #theres enough bad shit abt me you dont even need to lie when youre gonna talk abt me behind my back #the fact you need to lie says enough #so ok be childish

Hi I’m rereading Sunwing by Kenneth Oppel and WTF?!

#silverwing #silverwing saga #sunwing #kenneth oppel #this book is messed up #or just the first half #i am so glad i waited until i got older to read it because this would have traumatized me #my mom said shade was in survival mode and chinook was in shock and i definitely did not realize that when i read it myself #also the obvious religious overtones #i looked it up back when i first read it and apparently this happened historically #if anyone out there is interested in reading the silverwing sequel there is compelling stuff in there #jungle content and rebellion FINALLY #but there's also some traumatizing stuff in there #i'm spoiling it because fuck it this shouldn't have been in a children's book #animal testing #using animals in warfare #bombing #yeah it gets serious #i javen't even read the part where the vampyrum society is revealed or the obvious eclipse happens but i know it's going to go hard #goth is so petty i hate him /j #goth as in a character name #also love kenneth for having all these mythological and natural character names and then there's just g o t h #don't even get me started on throbb #like sir what possessed you to make that a character name? #ngl i hope i see him again in firewing #and he's not like enslaved again #i know he's a cannibal but like he deserves better #i'm not in the hannibal fandom but isn't this just the general consensus? #i might be way off maybe people want him to suffer #rambling like me at my best

It is a certain type of irritation that forms when you see bakers, who should have been eliminated, gleefully conduct themselves in the tent the following week as if they deserve to be there and there hadn’t been an absolute miscarriage of justice.

#gbbo #gbbo 2023 #great british bake off #how dare you grin so broadly #act as if you should be there #as if your bakes weren’t absolutely atrocious the previous week #like you should have known you should have been eliminated #no one is that consistently shit and then allowed to continue #you should have felt absolutely shocked #guilty beyond belief #because it is so unimaginably apparent the blatant bias and favoritism that occurred #to keep you in the show #there is no way someone is not aware of that #it is not fair that you are there #you took the spot away from someone much more deserving #so have a little fucking humility #humble yourself #this is aimed at dan but also at the other bakers from previous seasons who should not have stayed #I am petty enough that I want karma to kick you in the ass
